It’s windy in the Yellow Sea, and there’s a bloody battle in the sea breeze!
Chapter 55 The sea strives for the front
This time, the Japanese army dispatched six cruisers, such as Matsushima, Chiyoda, Yandao, Qiaoli, Birui and Fusang, to unite with four small gunboats, such as Yoshino, Takachiho, Akinzhou and Langsu, which are the first guerrillas of the fleet.
Ito Sukeyuki looked at the Beiyang Navy’s "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" in front of him, and five cruiser gunboats followed him. He was overjoyed that there was a big gap between the enemy and the enemy’s military strength, and he won the advantage ship. This battle is bound to be annihilated.
Ito Sukeyuki directly ordered "the first guerrilla ships to retreat to the front team and then attack the Qing army in a single vertical array!"
The Japanese huge fleet pulled out of the sea and advanced rapidly.
Ding Ruchang corners of the mouth bent up a sneer and ordered, "Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Jingyuan, Jingyuan, defend the two wings and keep formation to attack."
Look at the two fleets. When the distance is less than 3 kilometers, Dingyuan Ship Zhenyuan Ship takes the lead in firing. Two huge ships and four Krupp heavy artillery pieces are fired together, and a shell is ejected.
It is a pity that at the end of the 19th century, Krupp’s big caliber heavy artillery shells were fired, and even a shell from Zhenyuan hit the cruiser Langsu, the front of the charge. More than a few shells missed, and only two shells landed on the side of the Japanese Chiyoda cruiser. The explosion startled the Japanese army, but the Japanese army was ill.
Wave speed was miserable. A 35mm heavy artillery shell fell on the starboard deck. The armor of Wave speed was very weak. A huge hole appeared immediately after the heavy artillery shell bombarded. A cannon on the right side was ignited, and it was also blown up by the way. Captain Dongxiang Pinglang quickly put out the fire and prepared to fight back.
When the Japanese army saw that the Qing army took the lead in firing, it quickly responded. Most of the Japanese fleet was equipped with small-caliber rapid-fire guns. Although it was not powerful, it was quick to win. The first round of artillery shells of the Qing army went out of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, and the second round of artillery shells of the Japanese Yoshino ship were launched before they were loaded. Several artillery shells roared out of the muzzle of the Yoshino ship and landed heavily on Zhenyuan ship. However, the heavy armor of Zhenyuan ship did not bring substantial damage to Zhenyuan. The navy was shaken to the ground and stood unsteadily.
Lin Tai increased nu scold a way "dog day I haven’t hit you, you first fired continuously! Gunner! Speed up the loading of shells and don’t wait for my order to fire immediately! "
The Chinese and Japanese warships launched an encounter in the Yellow Sea.
Ito Sukeyuki, a Yoshino warship, looked at the Qing warships across the street and said, "Ordered the first guerrillas’ Yoshino’,’ Takachiho’,’ Akinzhou’ and’ Langsu’ to go around the right-wing array of Beiyang Navy with their foreheads against the two main battleships of Beiyang Navy, and their warships joined forces to attack and annihilate Beiyang in the Yellow Sea!"
With the arrival of the Japanese semaphore, the First Guerrilla Four Cruisers began to change course and thrust diagonally to the right.
Ding Ruchang’s face was grim, and Liu Buchan, on the side of Liu Buchan, said, "My Lord, the Japanese army has started to act. Now their four cruisers are moving to the right, obviously relying on speed to flank!"
Ding Ruchang’s eyes narrowed to reveal a murderous look. "Command Zhenyuan, Kaiyuan and Zhiyuan to follow the flagship and insert them into the central Zhenyuan Dingyuan ship of the Japanese fleet. They are not willing to rely on our hard work to separate them by relying on four ships. The remaining ships joined forces to panic in the right and move one to the right!"
The mast soldiers quickly played the semaphore, and the Beiyang ships changed their positions immediately after seeing it.
Dingyuan Zhenyuan two ships rushed towards the sun, Zhiyuan and Pingyuan followed closely to protect the wings.
Heyuan, the Japanese Yoshino ship, wanted to shout, "General Pavilion, look at the flagship of the Qing army leading the three main cruisers to rush towards us!"
Ito Sukeyuki frowned and said, "Dingyuan Ship Zhenyuan Ship’s armor is extremely thick and indestructible. Order both sides of the fleet to avoid the fire and attack the two wings!"
As soon as the formation of the Japanese fleet opened fire from Dingyuan, Zhenyuan and Zhiyuan Pingyuan, dozens of artillery shells were fired at the same time, and the fire tongue was thrown at the Japanese ship. On the first day, the fleet did not show weakness, followed by a gun battle between the two sides.
The deck of the command tower of Ding Ruchang Dingyuan Ship must be quietly watching the Japanese ship’s heart. Seven years ago, I led a fleet to visit Japan. At that time, the Japanese navy was still a poor name, but a few old gunboats were already chasing after it in a short time. Beiyang really stood still because of the old equipment, lax training and some slippage. Compared with a steaming day, the first world war either played Beiyang’s iron and blood prestige or was about to collapse.
At this time, the Japanese ship Yoshino Matsushima, with its high speed, has rushed to Dingyuan Zhenyuan, and two cruiser guns have been fired together. The remaining ships have also begun to spray fire shells flying around in an attempt to sink Dingyuan Zhenyuan and discount the Beiyang Navy’s backbone first.
On one side, Liu Buchan saw the Japanese artillery fiercely grabbing Ding Ruchang’s robe sleeve and roared, "My Lord, the Japanese artillery is fierce. Please still avoid me from the command tower to direct the war!"
Ding Ruchang shouted, "Nonsense! I’ve been running away from enemy shells for dozens of times!"
Two people were arguing that two shells went straight to the deck of Dingyuan ship. "Boom" two loud noises and a dozen soldiers nearby were involved in the sea of fire in an instant, accompanied by a piercing scream, and several Qing troops quickly jumped into the Yellow Sea.
Ding Ruchang, Liu Buchan, was pushed sideways by the shock wave of the shell explosion to a distance of ten paces before Liu Buchan dared not neglect to get up and shouted "My Lord!" "My Lord!" The figure jumped toward Ding Ruchang, and Ding Ruchang staggered up. His left chest was marked with two mouths behind him by transverse missiles and flying hard objects.
Liu Buchan grabbed Ding Ruchang and urged, "Your honor, your status is honorable, and the whole fleet depends on your command. Please be sure to command the tower to bind up the wound first! Give it to me first! " Say back big drink a way "QinBing QinBing! Where the hell are they? Don’t hurry to help the adults go back to bandage the wound! "
Not far away, several QinBing hurriedly ran towards Ding Ruchang.
At this time, another shell landed in the middle of Dingyuan ship, and an artillery gun cried to blow up the battery.
Deng Shichang, the Zhiyuan Ship, is directing the soldiers to launch shelling. The deputy of the ship beside him shouted, "Look, my Lord! Dingyuan ship! Dingyuan ship is heavy artillery! "
Deng Shichang was frightened in the heart and looked back to see Dingyuan Ship’s raging fire.
Deng Shichang thundered, "His mother Zhiyuan immediately accelerated to protect Dingyuan! The artillery aimed at the recent Yoshino ship and hit me hard. I must destroy his arrogance! "
Chapter 56 Dan Xin is a Qixia month!
Ye Zugui, the pipe belt of Jingyuan Ship, saw Lin Yongsheng calling the semaphore and did not hesitate to order, "Order the firm and accelerated detachment to approach the Takachiho ship and bite him hard!"
Jingyuan ship passed two cruisers from a distant ship, one left and one right, and came to Takachiho ship bag. After seeing it, Guangjia ship came here to try to block the Takachiho ship network.
Takachiho ship captain Sano Murakami looked bad and tried to retreat to the periphery in an attempt to throw off the two ships’ attack, but Takachiho was a big ship with a fast speed, but it was slower to turn around. When his head fell to half of Jingyuan, the heavy guns of the two ships had already bombarded, and the shells roared heavily on the deck, blowing out a big hole in the weak armor. The battleship mast was also discounted by the shells. The fire in Takachiho was pervasive, but Sano Murakami was also scared and called for help.
The nearby Langsu Qiujinzhou rushed closer to the Takachiho ship in an attempt to share the pressure of Takachiho, but dumped the flagship Yoshino.
The four ships, Laiyuan, Jiyuan Chaoyong and Yangwei, took the opportunity to encircle the Yoshino ship, which is the flagship of guerrillas. The performance of the Yoshino ship is far away in terms of displacement and heavy artillery. The captain of other Japanese ships, Heyuan, is also a famous war madman of the Japanese navy. The leaders of the young generation took the lead in firing at the four Qing ships, aiming at several heavy artillery pieces with the worst fighting power. The cruiser Chaoyong had just arrived, but before it exerted its power, it was directly hit by artillery shells and it was difficult to move. Dozens of Qing troops were killed by the explosion of the artillery shell steam furnace, and Huang Jianxun was seriously injured
The ship that came to Yuanji was far away from the Yoshino ship. Recently, two ships fired seven rounds of artillery shells and fought against the Yoshino ship. Later, the Yangwei ship Yoshino ship gradually fell into the wind. Finally, the four heavy artillery batteries of the Yoshino ship were destroyed, and the three ships besieged Yoshino ship and slowly sank into the sea.
